With the vast quantity of material that online streaming giant Netflix is churning out on a somewhat weekly basis, it is becoming a struggle to sieve the weak from the strong. Deciding on something to watch has become like looking for a needle in a haystack. However there are, on occasion, shows or films that deserve a special mention, and Mindhunter, based on the best selling non-fiction novel, is a series that cannot escape such recognition.

Mindhunter ticks all these boxes and more.

Binge-watching shows on Netflix is one of the most satisfying ways to spend a weekend (or week) and one of the most dangerous forms of procrastination. We’re all guilty of it. You lie there in bed, maybe a bit hungover, definitely in your pjs, and watch episode after episode until six hours have passed, you’ve eaten everything within arm’s reach, and your essay is still at zero words. Oops. Here are the most binge-worthy shows on both the UK and US Netflix in no particular order.
